Discussing correcting the factoring problem is one part of the discussion. Of the people who CAN afford to race in Stock or SS and plan to stay competitive that is one discussion.
The expense of Stock and SS racing is another issue. Making the bar higher for recreation of better factoring can affect the cost. Then its back to should everyone be able to "afford" current Stock or SS? Should the entry level classes be a different class like old pure stock? The current costs and class descriptions are not for everyone it is true.... Local tracks still run bracket Cheaper programs close to home and the only difference from current points meets is the friends might not be there. I am not sure the programs of Stock and SS could or should be ruled by a cost number to make it "affordable" by more people.
Maybe a fresh look at specs legal in a class like Spec motor class only one car for everyone would work for new people.
